          Red Fort Agra 
           Brief 
          Description Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16th-century 
          Mughal monument known as the Red Fort of Agra. This powerful fortress 
          of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5-km-long enclosure walls, 
          the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises many fairy-tale 
          palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah 
          Jahan; audience halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas; and two very 
          beautiful mosques.
